Nunu "offmeta" ban.
Hello thecommunity, its this time of the year again, when the people of the boards let their Riot-Hate Boners go free while defending trolling players that ruin games. There is said it, now downvote me because i dont circlejerk against Riot.
This is the exact same situation as it was with singed "support".The problem is not their picks, i play offmeta supports all the time, hell i started playing and maining Galio support due to the increase of ap offensive supports on bot lane. THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM.
The problem is that the guy picks Nunu "Support" NO MATTER WHAT, and then does not support at all. He leaves the adc to play a 1 vs 2 battle, which is next to impposible and causes the adc to be smashed unless the enemy sucks. In the end this creates a massively negative experience for the adc, because he has no support.
Oh and dont bring in the "Suport is not the adc's slave" bullshit, that is an excuse and you know it. I advocate for this all the time, and if my adc is really bad or is flaming me, i go support the top lane. You are not a slave, but it is YOUR JOB to support your adc at least on the early levels before roaming, to help your adc to reach lategame ad their powerspikes.
I will post something i found on reddit:
> Yeah, this is the second time this thread got posted > > The thread got canned the first time because he was claiming something random without the screenshot, and the second time because the title was literally wrong (He's not banned for "winning", he's not fucking Donald Trump) > > I dunno, this is just like the singed support case, it's some dude picking support and doing something other than supporting, and people reporting him for it. Yeah, he's a good player, but the people commenting about it are all hypocrites too. > > The second they would get someone playing off-meta in their game, they would report the shit out of him the second they lost, but they're somehow defending this dude's virtue in this thread as if he's some great innovator. > > Here's a comment from the guy on his stream > > Just to be clear, his strategy is: "I'm going to do this, and you're going to like it" He won't pick another hero that would fit the teamcomp better, he won't alter his strategy. You're going to do what he wants and you're going to like it. > > Unsurprisingly, teammates don't like that, even if they win sometimes with it - It's like some dude in Dota telling you he's going to duo lane middle with IO whether you fucking like it or not, every single game, he'll pick IO and just sit in your midlane. > > Even if you win with the IO sometimes, you still have a shitty experience, because all your other lanes suffer. > > I don't give a shit if people play off-meta things as long as they let the team know they're doing it and make sure everyone actually wants it, or at least the person who they're supposed to be laning with is ok with it. When I start to get pissed off is when someone declares they're doing something stupid, the team says "Please don't" and then they do it anyways. > > I grabbed one of his vods - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/118596913 > > He tells his AD he's going to ditch him and do his own thing. His AD says "Uh.. can you help me get tear at least?" - His response is "Don't worry, if its like last game, there'll be plenty of tears". > > Unsurprisingly, he goes about his strategy, which is to "annoy the enemy team", which gets him killed multiple times. His team constantly complains it is a 4v5 game (Which it basically is) and is trying to surrender the entire time, since he's feeding his ass off, and the opponent ADC is huge. > > At 20 minutes he is 1/11/8. > > He ends the game 1/16/20. He locks his team into a 40 minute game that they don't want to play and tells them they should suck it up and play by his rules. > > Ok, so lets see his second game. > > He does the same thing, and goes into the enemy jungle to invade, gets caught and gives first blood to Master Yi, a snowbally hero. He then dies again. > > All the while, he's complaining his teammates are "less proactive" than the enemy team (While he continues to abandon his AD, who is being denied farm and experience). > > His team complains that the game is a joke, saying to report him (As he fails to invade over and over. They get stomped and it's not even close - Again, the enemy AD is a god, and his is weak. > > He gets into another champion select, he tells his team what he's doing, they tell him no, he does it anyways. People dodge the champion selection (Probably a good move). > > Gets into his next game - This causes his team to automatically not want to play, which gets him a smite Blitzcrank support, as his team assumes he's trolling. > > Again, he tries his stupid invade and gets first blooded. His team is complaining. He's jungling now because Blitzcrank assumed he was trolling. This game is closer, but still terrible because of the Nunu. Another loss. > > I've taken a lot of time typing this up, but from the VODS it looks pretty clear to me. > > Plays something people hate in a way people don't want, despite being asked not to > Plays it in a highly risky manner, causing people to tilt off the face of the earth > Plays it in a way that forces another member of his team to lane alone, ensuring a fed carry on the other team every game >
SO just stop with your Riot Hate Boners and look at the fucking situation, because just like with singed this was JUSTIFIED. And dont pretend you would like this happening to you, especially if you were an adc player.
